SDK Chapter 286 - Yin and Yang: The Four Swords - Showdown Between the True Red Eyes 1 Text: [Chinmei... has the true red eyes...!?] Text: [Is there any chance of victory in the face of those bottomless red eyes!?] Saizou: Wh... what is he...?! Jinpachi: He's a demon... a monster...!! Yukimura: The true... "Demon Eyes...?" Sasuke: ...So your eyes changed color. Big fucking deal. 2 Sasuke: Get the hell out, you monster!! Hiraijin Kirin!! (I'm leaving Sasuke's attacks in Japanese, because it's so wonderful and refreshing to see attacks that aren't in Engrish. But if you must know, it translates to "Secret Thunder Sword - Kirin" in which a "kirin" is a mythical Chinese unicorn-deer-type-animal that brings good luck. I find it interesting that Sasuke is identified with the very gentle, yet very powerful kirin. A kirin is so delicate that it walks without crushing insects. Just FYI...) Chinmei: I'm the offspring of the Former Aka no Ou... the "Child of God", if you will... they call us the Red Cross Knights. 3 Chinmei: Surely a lab rat like you is no match for me~? Sasuke: What...!? Sasuke: [My Hiraijin Kirin was totally shattered... just by his will to fight...!? Chinmei: I only need the power in one finger to deal with a little mouse like you... Chinmei: This will be plenty to kill you! Saizou: S... Sasuke!! Sasuke: S... shit...!! Sasuke: He... he has that much power in just one finger...!? Sasuke: Fuck you... 4 Saizou: S... Kamanosuke: Sasuke...!? Sasuke: What... the... Sasuke [I... I can't move!!] Sasuke: [It's just like when I overloaded myself before... did I overuse the power of the red eyes...!?] Sasuke: [Why NOW?!] Saizou: Damn it... Saizou: If anyone is going to get out of here... I ahve to do something...!! I have to save Sasuke... but it has to be the right moment...!! Chinmei: Well, you survived the power of just one finger... I suppose I ought to congratulate you... even if you pushed yourself too far. Chinmei: I was impressed that you had learned how to speak to Shibien, but it seems that I overestimated your potential. Chinmei: Oh well... 5 Sasuke: I don't care what color your eyes are... I won't let you come out of this alive... Sasuke: You think I'd be happy losing to a guy on Kyo's level? Chinmei: The called him "Demon Eyes" because those red eyes filled people with terror... so ever since old times, he's been "Onime no Kyo." Chinmei: Human or Mibu, anybody who dared to fight him ended up dead - to think that spirit is now a traitor in a rotting body... Chinmei: He was really something... even friends could end up facing god's own assassin. Chinmei: Why does he even have the red eyes...? He carries the blood of the true Mibu - the blood of the gods! - and yet he turned against the gods... he disobeyed the Former Aka no Ou. Chinmei: So as long as he lives, he will never know peace...!! Saizou: What...? Chinmei: And you're no better... that a inferior laboratory mistake like you lives to face the gods... it's just wrong... Chinmei: So really... killing you now would be a blessing, wouldn't it? 6 Chinmei: Death by LOVE AND PEACE!! Saizou: S... Saizou: Too fast... Saizou: There's no time!! Saizou: SASUKE!! Yukimura: Secret technique!! Shirasagi no Hana!! (Yukimura's attacks are so pretty... this one means "White Heron Flower." The white heron is a symbol of grace and beauty, as well as of the yang principle.) Yukimura: Gah...!! 7 Sasuke: Y... Yukimura...!! Yukimura: ...Sasuke... Yukimura: Sasuke... you're my most precious friend... Yukimura: No matter what happens, no matter what color your eyes are... nothing else matters!! Sasuke: Yukimura... Chinmei: Shirasagi is a technique for godspeed... so I guess Anri taught you more than just Sekireigan, huh? Chinmei: It just barely blocked a full hand's worth of my power... Chimei: But... Chinmei: Overusign Sekireigan leaves you comepletely helpless, doesn't it? Chinmei: After all, it's not like you have any hope of defeating my red eyes, right? Sasuke: Y... Yukimura!! 8 Sasuke: Yukimura...!! That's enough!! Saizou: Yukimura-sama...!! Yukimura: S... stay back!! Yukimura: ...Don't come any closer. Just... leave this to me. Yukimura: ...It's an order, alright...? Sasuke: ...Don't be stupid!! You think we're going to follow an order like that?! Yukimura: Very well... Yukimura: Very well, Sasuke... you're dismissed...!! Yukimura: ...Until now, have I ever given you an unreasonable order...? Yukimura: Just this once... listen to me... Yukimura: Please... Yukimura: Please... I don't want anyone doing anything stupid for my sake.... Yukimura: I don't want anyone to die...!! 9 Sasuke: Yukimura... Shindara: Little Sasuke... Shindara: Yukimura-sama is waiting for you... He needs you. He believes in you. He's waiting... Shindara: Please... promise me... that you will protect Yukimura-sama... Shindara: "Sarutobi Sasuke of the Sanada Juuyuushi"... that name now belongs to you alone. Sasuke: ...I'm not going to die. Sasuke: I owe my life to a lot of people... they protected me... so... Mutant kids: [He's our friend! Our little brother!] Kotarou: [I believe in you... I'll always be with you... we'll always be at your side...] Sasuke: ...I didn't really understand then, but now I'm going to say it too. Sasuke: I am Sarutobi Sasuke of the Sanada Juuyuushi... This is the home I've always been looking for...!! Sasuke: So there's no way I'm going to die!! And I'm going to protect the rest of you, too!! Believe in me, Yukimura...!! Yukimura: Sasuke... Yukimura: [...I guess you've grown up... and it looks like you've grown beyond me...] 10 Chinmei: Your kind and humans are both so weak... I guess that's why you believe in things you can't see. Chinmei: How pathetic... it's so pathetic that I'm going to put you all out of your misery. Chinmei: AHHH!! Sasuke: What...!? Sasuke: That incedible power is coming from his hands... Chinmei: "Gravity Ball - Crisis!!" (*sob* Engrish...) 11 Sasuke: Fuck...!! Sasuke: [There's nowhere to run...!!] Sasuke: [...I've got to protect them...] Sasuke: [I've got to show him... I have to!!] Jinpachi: Hey Sasuke, there's no way you can leave us out!! Sasuke: Y... you guys!? One of the Nyuudous: That's right!! 12 Chinmei: I won't go easy on you! Everybody: Ahh!! Jinpachi: Shit...!! We can't hold it back...!! Sasuke: Y... you too...!! 13 Juuzou and Rokurou: Kakei Juuzou and Unno Rokurou of the Sanada Juuyuushi are here!! Kosuke: Sorry we're late!! (I came too!!) Yukimura: K... Kakei-kun!! Unno-san!! ...Kosuke!! When did you...!? Saizou: This is it!! Now we're all here!! Saizou: This must mean that Kosuke asked you two to secretly follow after Yukimura-sama!! (Same with me!!) Yukimura: ...Sheesh... you guys are too much... Saizou: Alright!! Let's go!! We're all ten of the Juuyuushi!! Saizou: Nine souls entrusted to one ninja - now that's power!! It's out ultimate technique!! (Saizou, you're a DORK but I love you.) 14-15 Saizou: [That's right, all nine of us are fighting for you, Sarutobi Sasuke... the strongest of the Juuyuushi...!!] Saizou: [Sanada Juuyuushi Ultimate Technique - Ten Souls!!] (Okay, the chant they do is the nine seals chant, used by onmyouji for excorcisms and by ninjas to mentally strengthen themselves before battle.) Saizou: Rin! -face- Juuzou: Pyou! -soldier- Seikai: Tou! -fight- Jinpachi: Sha! -foe- Kosuke: Kai! -effort- Isa: Jin! -prepare- Rokurou: Retsu! -focus- Kamanosuke: Zai! -exist- Saizou: ...Huh? Saizou: Wait, there's one more - Zen! It means -before-! Saizou: !! Saizou: Somebody's not here!! Mochizuki Rokurou: Hmm? Handwritten: [Yukimura's double back on Mount Kudou - Mochizuki Rokurou of the Sanada Juuyuushi] Saizou: I... I forgot... (too many people...) Saizou: Wh... what do we do now!? We can't do "Ten Souls" with only nine people...!! Sasuke: [This is... the sword that belonged to the original Sarutobi Sasuke...] Shindara: Zen... 16 Sasuke: [This power...] Sazuke: AHHHHHH!! Sasuke: [It's overwhelming!!] Yukimura: He broke right through Chinmei's "Gravity Ball - Crisis!!" (Oh Yukimura... I hoped to never hear such horrible Engrish pass through your beautiful lips... *cries*) Chinmei: Ooh... now what's this... Sasuke: AHHHH!! 17 Sasuke: This is it, Chinmei!! Sasuke: What...!? Sasuke: [He... he stopped me with just one hand...!?] Chinmei: Was that it...? When you're dealing with garbage, it doesn't matter if you have nine or ten... Chinmei: You're no match for the True Red Eyes!! Saizou: S... Saizou: SASUKE...!! 18-19 Chinmei: What...!? Shibien is shining...!? Chinmei: [Now it's speaking to the spirits of those failed experiments!? Impossible... Sasuke: This isn't just the Juuyuushi... Sasuke: I can't see them, but... Sasuke: I believe in my friends, and I know they're with me now!! 20 Chinmei: N... no... it can't be possible... for a little mouse like him to beat the True Red Eyes...!? Sasuke: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Text: If you can't win alone, believe in your friends from the bottom of your heart!! Now Sasuke's sword is filled with the feelings of his friends!! Next Chapter: Glory!?
